You see I think they really fucked up by not giving that McDonald’s employee the money. If they had just given him the reward, it would’ve been encouragement for us to turn on each other, kick others down so we might get a leg up, to struggle another day in their system. Divide and conquer. But by not giving this person the sixty grand, (pennies to them), they have proven once and for all that betraying your class will not help you. They have proven that we have to unite to get anything done. Their greed brought them to the top, their greed let this desperation and anger fester, and their greed will be their downfall. I swear, I couldn’t write this shit better.
#this uhc situation has made the metaphor enjoyer in me very happy.#luigi mangione#uhc shooter#us politics#I’m not from America#I swear the world is just giving us perfect prose.#sorry for the political post but I just thought of this and it was too good to not say.

Clementine von Radics, from “Letter from Anaïs Nin to Clementine von Radics”
Text ID: For women who are tied to the moon, love alone is not enough.
#clementine von radics#miscellanea#i see this quote so often incorrectly cited.#people have confused the name of the poem as being a letter from anaïs nin.#the poem itself is entirely dissimilar to anaïs nin which is silly.#so anyway!#a correction.#i’m not necessarily a fan of the author or this poem in it’s entirety but i do feel bad it’s often attributed to nin.#quote#poetry#america literature#lit

realizing that people who equate cynicism with intellectual rigor are often just being lazy and pathetic has been so helpful tbh
#like the endless amount of cynicism i see on here particularly amongst american leftists just very much reads to me#as a combination of moral ocd and identity politics / optics#where if you’re sad/angry enough it excuses you from participating in the real world#instead of like. funneling a real desire to see positive change into channels of action#anyways. aoc and rashida talib the only bitches out here i respect#i am never going to be a person who responds to like. paragraphs about how electoral politics are evil or america is evil like yeah. true.#but i live here. people i love live here. strangers i love live here. so now what do i do that is Real outside of the whining chamber#optimism = stupid / fatalism = intellect is like. LOLOLOL#we all have to chose to believe that we can create a world that is livable#which is not to say i am#at all aligned with the dem#establishment or the liberal agenda but like. i’m not taking myself out of the game bc i believe i can Do Something and it’s my duty to do

piper and colin greenmantle are so fucking funny because what do you mean the death of niall lynch, a living god, and the subsequent torment of his son, was orchestrated by a fucking soccer mom and her harangued husband posing as said son’s latin teacher?
#i just can’t with them#june’s trc reread#ronan lynch#adam parrish#i’m assuming the greenmantles are meant to be a commentary on rich snobby people moving into rural areas#and disturbing the ways of life there for the locals#because they’re greedy and want everything for themselves#and think they’re better than said locals#i’m being 100% serious when i say people like the greenmantles are ruining rural america#and maggie was completely correct to cast them as villains in this story#the way piper talks to jesse dittley and then sh00ts him when he won’t let her in the cave confirms this for me#as does greenmantle taunting adam with the trailer park’s address#like. go back to boston.#and they’re from boston! wealthy new englanders.#who come to rural areas like appalachia and muck everything up for the locals for shits and giggles#and by doing that they take away what was beautiful about the place to begin with.#i hate them so much. so much.#trc

What do you mean it’s not normal to think about kissing your best friend? Maybe you just aren’t close enough with yours. Me and Bucky? We’re tighter than tight. And besides have you seen him? I can appreciate a man’s beauty it doesn’t mean I’m gay.

I’m not actually meant to work a job. I’m meant to be traveling around lone wanderer style experiencing and learning from the world, meeting new people and helping them discover the joy of being alive actually. and playing the lute as well
#I also have the compulsion from god to travel around the continent depolarizing America#to such an extreme extent that I am not entirely unconvinced that I’m gonna straight up learn#I was George Washington in a past life or some shit#look I was drawn to the Washington monument so much at age 13 that I asked my parents#to get me a cake. A CAKE. themed after the Washington monument for my birthday#that’s like some Dalai Lama ‘check to see if a child is drawn to items from a past life’ stuff right there tbh#let’s be honest is there any other explanation for being so damn invested in this country despite being entirely#angry and disappointed in it#harambe died and therefore Washington has to return as a meme lord with a steel chair of justice. figure it out

Lace gijinka redesign!!!! I was never completely happy with her original outfit, this one’s a lot closer to what I want :D
ALSO she’s built like a pencil, she uses poofy fabric and ruffles to give the illusion of hips and boobs bc I think that’s funny
The colours aren’t 100% set in stone but they are!! Good enough for now!!
Original under the cut for those who haven’t seen it :D
#I’ll draw her without the coat n stuff soon#my art#hollow knight#hollow knight gijinka#silksong#silksong lace#hk lace#also she’s WAY taller than I intended but we ball#I’m gonna make pharloom fashion remniscent of like. early 20th century America#no specific year bc there’s stuff from diff decades I like lmao

Insane to me that people, including other film makers, are so ready to throw down against Scorsese. If the trolley problem was the entirety of marvels output on one track and one more Scorsese film on the other, I’d ram that bitch through the mcu so hard it would obliterate every trace of iron man from time and space. God bless ‘em but I would 💖
#I say this as a one time marvel enjoyer.#ten words from grandpa mean more to me than anything captain America has ever said so we are clear#you may not choose this option and that’s fine but I’m going full throttle you should know that about me#and if I see one more comparison of some marvel quadrilogy spin off poster you need three tv shows and five movies to understand who is even#ON IT held up against Wolf of Wall Street like it proves something I’m gonna commit#and I don’t even LIKE wolf of wall street that fucking much#he is one of our foremost creatives and he is talking about how the catch of humanity is you are given more creative drive and ambition and#KNOWLEDGE than time and how heavy his OWN DEATH looms and we’re doing THIS

we spend so much time dunking on conservatives for being ignorant, for not seeing the evil things that the right is doing so blatantly. The republican party says things dumber than satire, and yes, their followers believe every word of it. But can we really blame them? And please hear me out on this.
The republicans prey on the uneducated. They prey on the poor, and the disenfranchised; those who don’t know when they’re being swindled. The republican party has systematically broken down the education system in the united states because it better serves their interests. Through making schools worse they create a population that is less educated and has less social mobility, meaning they’ll have lower wages and, even better for republicans, won’t know when they’re being taken advantage of. A less educated populace is easier to control, easier to influence, and better for business.
This wasn’t something orchestrated by one man. It’s the result of decades of capital-driven policies, on top of racial politics. The most clear example of this is how hard politicians fought to keep people of color out of schools, and then once they failed, out of schools of quality.
It’s not the fault of the average republican voter that they can’t see what is going on. They were never taught to. Everyone alive in the the USA today are people who were raised in an education system that failed them, because it was designed to. To make America a better country should not be about one side of the aisle trying to stamp out the other side; it should be about trying to build a system that fails no one.
Those who were failed by the education system are easy to preach to. They probably struggled through school with no help, and came to hate it. They probably never had the chance to go to college. It was never their fault. It’s easy to tell them that science is wrong; it’s easy to tell them that those colleges are the enemy and that the leftist people and ideas that come from them are bad because that validates the emotions that these people feel. And every time a massive gang of leftists clowns on someone on the internet, it just further cements the things the Republicans preach.
#us politics#usa#fuck trump#fuck elon musk#eill klon#america#american politics#usa politics#republicans#thoughts#i’m not trying to say republicans are stupid#i’m saying they don’t know they’re being taken advantage of#because the people in control prevented them from learning when they are being swindled#i don’t have sources for this#it’s honestly just my theory and view#politics#political posting#political post

twice a year (during the beginning of the new year and again during the early summer), alfred will be on one of his diet stints.
which mostly means working out for a majority of the day and surviving off salads, sometimes with boiled chicken slices thrown in. no dressing, no croutons, none of the fun stuff, either.
it’s only natural that ivan’s instincts to take care of his beloved kick in. he needs proper nutrition after all — a bit of extra thickness to his waist doesn’t justify these extra measures! salted potatoes, and thick vegetable stews, and breaded pork tenderloin with dumplings…
oh, and ivan’s pryanik is just delicious any time of the year, how can alfred resist such a thing? needless to say, ivan ends up keeping him glowing and healthy, and a bit chubby around the middle.

Today is (maybe) 100 days until Silverborn…

Please for the love of God learn the difference between Latino and Hispanic if you don’t already
#tweaking every time I see someone call Luis Latino#‘it’s not that serious’ I’m going to bite through a steel beam#it’s such an easy distinction to make too#if you call him Latino I’m just gonna assume you headcanon him as partially from some country in Latin America#my half Spanish half Honduran king#my Spanish-Ecuadorean Prince#when he’s from Spain and Paraguay 😍😍#moose rambles#moose posting#Luis Babygirl Serra
